Valorising by-products from food and drink manufacturing and creation of circular opportunities
The food and drink manufacturing and processing industry has an important part to play in reducing food waste and transitioning to a circular economy paradigm where by-products are processed in an effective and sustainable way; generating greater socio-economic value, and tackling climate change.
Research Opportunities
Summary
Opportunities are available for projects which apply novel ‘green’ extraction technologies to recover valuable bio-active compounds from by-products. High value/low volume chemicals will be isolated, their bio-activities tested in a variety of biological systems (in–vitro: cell culture; in vivo: C. elegans, mouse) and mechanisms of action identified for use as nutraceuticals, or preservatives in the food and drink industry or in the cosmetic/personal care industry, to create new value chains.
